Ranking System

"Master, someone is here to meet Rose, and I don't think it's for something good."

"Rose, do you know who is coming to meet you?"

"No. I don't have any connections to anyone at the moment."

Rose didn't look like she was lying. Let's check what is going to happen. Bella, out of consideration, had left, leaving Rose with me alone.

Going out the door, we saw two men outside. Rose saw the face of the man and paled. The man was at the 493 Rank. He was talented for someone his age.

"Rose, it's been a while."

The man had said without a hint of a smile. He briefly glanced at me and went back to Rose. Did he just dismiss me? Confident cunt.

"Julius Fowler... What are you doing here?"

The man named Julius Fowler is a man with bright red hair. He had a pretty boyish look, and green eyes would make anyone think he was innocent.

I could feel a tint of rage coming from Rose's voice. There seems to be bad blood between them. Maybe I could mess with him using this chance.

"Your brother died a day ago."

Rose didn't wince an eye once she heard that her brother had died. In fact, there seemed to be a smile once she heard him dead.

"What does he have to do with me? That bastard left me alone when I needed him the most!"

"He is drowned in debt. You're the last one of his family left. For his will, all his debt will be sent to you. All I need is for you to sign it. My lawyer here will do all the process."

"Why would I do that? He has nothing to do with me."

Julius frowned once he heard what Rose had said. Was he an idiot? Why would Rose take the debt of someone she hated?

"As expected from you. Your family is full of horrible people. Your family has caused harm to millions, and you can't even do your best to appease any of them."

What Julius had said was full of shit. For him to blame her because of their family's mistake got me angry. Rose could not say anything to Julius. I could see that she was clenching her hands.

"Julius, if I'm correct?"

"I'm Julius Fowler. And you're Charles Anderson. You've been a big hit recently. May I know your relationship with Rose Glover?"

"She's my maid. Rose here has cut off any relationship with her family. I don't think it's fair for someone to blame it on their parents when the child has nothing to do with it."

Julius frowned, seeing me defend Rose. Rose, the victim in all of this, smiled at what I had said.

"Mr. Anderson. Why don't you pay for Mrs. Glover's debt?"

The lawyer himself made a suggestion. I hate lawyers, but that was a story for another time. But to have the audacity to ask someone to pay for someone else's debt.

"Isn't it shameless to ask someone unrelated to pay the debt?"

I glared at the lawyer who had shamelessly proposed a deal like that. The lawyer flinched in horror, worried that he would tick me off.

"Charles. You're scaring off my lawyer. I would appreciate it if you don't harm him."

"There's no need for me to do that. With how insensitive he is and the job he has, he probably has made more enemies than he could imagine."

The man beside Julius didn't look like a great guy. Judging a person by his outer appearance was terrible, but he had this typical snakey look. He was a scrawny man wearing glasses. He is about forty years old, and his forehead has no hair covering it up. Only the top of his hair was going up.

In simple terms, he would look like he would betray you once he has the moment to do so.

"Is that so? I apologize for wasting your time. Wilbur, we're done here. Ms. Glover herself has cut ties with her family."

"But what about the debt?"

When does this man learn? Julius glared at him and got him to shut up. Julius then gave me a bow and left the place.

Rose herself calmed down once Julius had left. All the stress that she had been feeling today was rough.

After the talk with Julius and Rose, I now had some idea of Rose's background. She had clearly disliked her family.

Her situation was much different than mine, but the results were the same. I couldn't help but feel a little kinship with her.

"Do you want me to carry you back? You look like you could barely stand."

Rose's legs gave out, and I had carried her before she fell. Checking on her mentally, I asked if she was alright.

"Rose, are you alright?"

"I'm... Fine..."

Even when she said it wasn't convincing, I brought Rose in a princess carry and brought her back to the house.

No one saw us, but they would be shocked to see the state of Rose. I carried Rose back to the dining table to finish our lunch.

The food that Edna made turned cold. What a waste. Nevertheless, I finished the food and continued talking to Rose.

"Rose. I don't mind if you want to be mine. Seduce me. If you do, then I can return the love to you."

Rose seemed surprised by my proposal. It would be too dull if I accepted her unconditionally. I will make her work hard for me to accept her.

"You're weird. You know that?"

"And you're the person trying to seduce the weird person."

We laughed it off. Rose, for the first time, had smiled so ever brightly. So she could make a smile like that. All the other smiles I had seen from her were fake.

Rose then walked over to me and kissed me on the lips. She had done so vigorously that even Bella, who had come over, was surprised by her boldness.

"Master. I will start my assault."
